MOVED: Additionally units - are they useful?

I WISH! Most likely not.

Not to mention that a victory city, Shanghai, is put at risk.

I agree with you Jennifer,  Italy (if ignored for at least 3 turns) can turn into a monster, and before you know it Africa is gone.  Also in one game I played the US and UK ignored Italy for 5 whole turns and by the time they sent thier fleet down to stop them Italy had a monster of a fleet and sank both the US’s fleet and the UK’s fleet thus giving Germany time to take Russia.

@a44bigdog:

I could see a problem with this on the board as we have two set ups for the game. Besides does it take that long to learn the set ups? I never look at the cards anymore when I resent my revised board.

You have a good point there, Bigdog.  Having the map preprinted with setups when you have two different set ups could lead to some confusion.
